Really peed off that Cox and Maynard get to play in a grand final. Only consolation will be watching them with their heads in hand when they lose next week.

Filth really are an average team.

Beat our depleted team and barely managed to beat an exhausted gws.

Lions will kill them.

At least I'm hoping so.

Otherwise I'll have to go overseas for a year

Well done to Collingwood. They snuck through and took their chances. Seems to be the theme of the season for those teams in contention.

The industry is so tight, it could have been Us, or GWS into the GF. Not to be…

Game day moments matter - like us, GWS would reflect on a few and rue them.  

Bringing it back to us, overall though, our best is good enough, and to have been in the top 4 for 3 seasons, is an incredible feat, considering how tight the competition is and small the margins of error.

I have a terrible, no-good , very bad feeling they will win it all

i wonder if our players take it as seriously as us?? 😂😂😂

I notice Williamson (number 22) was dropped to emergency after his efforts last week.  That will be helpful for Brisbane because he only seems to see it Carlton's way.  On last night, massive kudos to the Giants.  They are a hell of a team.  An unrivalled travel schedule in a competition so tight.  6 day break leading into a prelim and coming from 3 wins and 7 losses says a lot about their talent and their character.  Collingwood - well they are most definitely beatable.  They won't have the advantage of the 19th man with the ridiculously lopsided crowd in the GF.  Go the Lions.  Fagan is an ex Demon who helped get us into the 2000 GF.  Hopefully it's his time.

I can’t understand their mindset 

surely they’d have understood this. Deliberately provocative

 

i don’t understand why the club just accepts this.

Did the thug actually direct a message towards our club or supporters?

This!

Been kissed on the d!€k all season long. 
Won thru to the grand final kicking 60 and 58 points.

Absolute travesty if they win it. Hope Brisbane smash them.

Toby Bedford runs into an open goal and misses..... How Melbourne!

I was right behind that should have been a certain goal.

And was it Lachie Keefe who decided to have a snap instead of handballing to Toby Greene who was all by himself running into an open goal

Had there chances

Interesting that in the post game presser Kingsley basically had a go at the stringent concussion rules which saw one of better players in Daniels go off in the final minutes for an HIA and subsequently pass with flying colours.

However last week you had Waitering who looked like he went 15 rounds with Mike Tyson and was about to collapse in front of 95,000 people, only for the AFL to come out and congratulate Carlton’s medical team on their handling of the matter.

Makes perfect sense I guess….

They also interviewed that sex pest DeGoey, who for some reason decided to awkwardly hug her and invade her space. Others lose their jobs for similar behavior. Was bizarre and no one bats an eyelid because it’s Collingwood. I hate what this country is becoming.

They are beatable for sure.

But they take the game on. some great corridor kicks when the pressure was on. they take risks and so far its paid off for them.

Hate to say it, but i don't think we beat either team last night (pies beat us already in a QF as we know). We don't have the corridor game to win it. Badly need some new thinking in this regard. any chance we could poach Leppitsch?

VFL will make sure Carlton win tonight. Gils farewell gift to make $$$$$$$ back after the COVID losses. Pies win also put them on 16 with the other 2 cheat clubs.

So what you’re telling me is a Collingwood V Carlton grand final will sell out but a Collingwood V Brisbane will not sell out?

Corporate cash, merch, everything else. Ticketing sells out regardless.

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted.

    WICKED WIND by Meggs

    Hang out to your hats. The strong blustery conditions made it extremely difficult for either team to execute footy skills but nonetheless an entertaining match ensured for those brave enough to venture down to Casey Fields on Saturday. Impressive Irish player Aine Tighe was a late withdrawal for Freo. Maddie Gay was also a late change, and she was replaced with 19 year-old Georgia Gall, the 6-foot ex Melbourne Stars BBL cricketer who has been impressing the coaches in scrimmage games.
